@aeronmelon who opens their door anymore when someone knocks?

[–] Honytawk 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I do, for when a neighbor kid kicked a ball in my yard and they are asking for it back.

@Honytawk you mean you don't have a giant dog named Hercules to scare them off?

Unless I'm expecting you, there's no point. You don't need to know my schedule or what the inside of my house looks like.

@thesystemisdown right anyone I'm expecting will have called first. Everybody else can fuck right off. XD

I set up a sensor so I know not to go downstairs if someone is at the door. I'm not putting on pants.

I can hear that neighbors kid screaming now, promising never to bother you again
